Our Angel, Sarah Abigail Neal, age 16, was called Home to be with the Lord and her beloved and waiting heavenly family on February 9, 2013. Abby was born October 2, 1996, in Atlanta, Georgia. She lived her early life for eleven years in Acworth, Georgia, after which she moved to Big Canoe, Georgia where she resided until the day God called her Home. Abby was a borrowed gift from God that touched everyone in a way that only an angel could do. Although afflicted her entire life with severe mitochondrial disorder, she carried out His mission here on earth by reaching out to and touching the hearts and souls of her family, friends and complete strangers with unconditional love and compassion.
